Demi Lovato returns as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock 3
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Demi Lovato will make a cameo appearance in "Camp Rock 3," reprising her role as Mitchie Torres, Disney has announced ahead of the film's Los Angeles premiere event. This marks a change from earlier plans, when Lovato was only set to executive produce the film without appearing on screen, and comes 18 years after the original "Camp Rock" launched her career in 2008.
The film debuts on Disney Channel on Thursday before streaming on Disney+ from Friday. The Jonas Brothers also return as executive producers and reprise their roles as Connect 3, alongside Maria Canals-Barrera as Mitchie's mother, Connie. New cast members Liamani Segura and Malachi Barton lead the story, in which Connect 3 returns to Camp Rock to find a new opening act, joined by Lumi Pollack, Sherry Cola and others; the original two films have amassed more than 535 million hours of viewing to date.

New here? Start with this
Demi Lovato became a household name playing Mitchie Torres in Disney Channel's "Camp Rock" in 2008, a film that helped launch her music and acting career, followed by a 2010 sequel. The franchise also introduced the Jonas Brothers' on-screen band, Connect 3, and became a defining part of Disney Channel's line-up during that era.
Camp Rock 3 revives the series nearly two decades later, with Lovato and the Jonas Brothers returning in some capacity alongside a new generation of young cast members taking on lead roles. The film is being positioned as both a nostalgia piece for former Disney Channel viewers and an introduction to the franchise for newer audiences.
The project reflects a broader trend of media companies reviving established franchises to draw on built-in audiences, with Disney citing the strong viewing figures of the original two films as part of the rationale for continuing the story.
